Warnings Drinking & references to alcohol/alcoholism, death of family members



first seasons: Revelry (cw: alcohol use)

[ The thing about revelry class is, like every revelry class before it there is simply no structure. Although Edgin seems legitimately interested in helping the novices, that appears to be through simply being determined to never fail them.

Each session begins with drinking, with the amount of alcohol increasing over the season, given the changing nature of the novice's biology. Once the students are well and drunk they party. Sometimes this is nothing but sitting around and talking, but other times this means snowball fights, or getting tossed around by night terrors.

There is a point here, though: it's about letting go. Edgin wants to push the students to let go of whatever it is that is holding them back, so that they can find their inner self. It's a time honored Blue Court tradition!

Although, in typical dad fashion, Edgin is more than willing to stick around and chat with anyone who wants to talk or needs some (d)advice.]

second seasons: The Magical World Of The Lute

[ Quite possibly the most normal course anyone will ever take at Castle Courtsheart. It's literally exactly what it says on the tin: you will learn how to play the lute. At least, as much of the Lute as you can learn in one season. But Edgin is at his best here, most interested and happy in this subject. He clearly enjoys playing, and he enjoys folk music and what it represents.

Edgin will also stay after and play with anyone who asks! Who knows, if you get him at his most nostalgic, maybe you'll see why all the other vampires claim he's no good at being a vampire ]

third seasons: Embracing Your Inner Animal

[ In this class, you'll learn how to shapeshift, or you'll fail. It's the only class he will actually fail people in and it's obvious that he very much doesn't want to. Edgin will do everything he can to try and help the novices figure it out--even if it means putting them in danger. (Again, another tried and true Blue Court method.)

Edgin's main animal form is a white ermine, but he's got a range of them he can use if needed. This class is half made up of practice and half made up of reflection in journals. ]

Office Hours

[ Edgin is really open about having visitors during office hours and he tries to make himself available. Of course, sometimes people don't show up and so you might catch up playing a mournful song on his lute, or actually doing his job and reviewing journals and assignments. It's also no secret that he enjoys card games and has been (much to his own frustration) enjoying a good romance novel. ]
